But keeping his hands off of the sexy songstress is easier said than done and once the threat is neutralized, will she choose fame over love?

Second chance romances where there is a messy past are my favorites. Let me explain, as that probably makes no sense, as by definition a second chance means there is a breakup, or a near miss, in the past for the couple.

Summer and Ben were together, and by being together were breaking the rules. They knew it, and they accepted it. And, then they got caught and Ben was blamed for what happened, he was fired, and he believed Summer was responsible for it all. But, darn it, when they meet, he still wants her...even though he is not sure he even likes her, at all, and wants to see her as just a job, and really wishes that he was anywhere else.

I love that. I love the tension, and the angst that past creates.

This didn't disappoint. Add in that it is written by Carly Phillips and the pacing is strong, overall (although a little fast at the end, I think) and you like the characters, and the connection and the sex are hot...and, well, this was an enjoyable read that I enthusiastically recommend.
